Enclosed is a script which will produce a file called `eddie',
which will cause your boring, old shell prompt to be replaced by a
new one named "ready eddie". eddie was born on a PR1ME computer,
whose command language provides for two prompt strings, the normal
("ready") prompt, and another ("error") prompt that is displayed
after a command has failed (Unix approx. "exits with a non-zero
status"). eddie normally wore a placid expression:
{o >o
\ -) -yes?
Which changed to a quizzical one after a mistake was made:
{o >o
\ ~) -huh?
On Unix, eddie is blase; you can `rm /' and he won't bat an eye.
Just cut out the script, put it in a file, make it executable,
and run it, naming your brand of shell if it's different than $SHELL.

Now just add the contents of the
file \`eddie' to your \`$file',
or type \`$include eddie' to try eddie.
